On May 11, The Levoy Theater will morph from apresent-day, multipurpose theater on High St. inMillville to a dark, smoky amphitheater located

in Anytown, USA, during Rock ’n’ Roll’s golden age ofthe 1970s. On stage will be the most influential band ofthat era—Led Zeppelin. Or at least as close to LedZeppelin as rock fans can hope to get in 2013.For the last 10 years, that’s the reputation

Philadelphia-based Zeppelin tribute band, Get The LedOut (GTLO), has been cultivating. Often referred to as“The American Led Zeppelin,” the six-piece has mas-tered the art of performing some of rock’s most iconicsongs on stage.The group was initially formed in 2003, when lead

vocalist Paul Sinclair was asked by a few area musiciansto join a Zeppelin tribute band they were trying to puttogether. At that time, some of those original memberswere interested in doing an impersonation-style band,playing as a four-piece and dressing as the members ofLed Zeppelin on stage. Sinclair had no interest in that,finding the lookalike act to be a little bit hokey.Instead, he wanted to form a band that would per-

form Zeppelin songs exactly as they had been recordedin the studio, with all of the overdubs and multi-tracks

CORRECTION, PLEASEI just finished reading Ryan

Dinger's cover story on SacredHeart High School [The Grapevine,April 24, 2013]. I think he did amagnificent job of presenting thecomplete picture, and please conveythose sentiments to him for me. Itis very well written.One egregious (to me) error—I

certainly was not the “founder” ofthe Save Sacred Heart Committee.That was more a spontaneous out-pouring of resolve by some 30alumni and parents following thediocese’s 2012 announcement ofpending closure. Later, an“Executive Committee” wasformed by Monsignor—ChalkyOttinger, Mark Ronchetti, LarryPepper and I—which morphed intothe foundation for the 12-personBoard of Limited Jurisdiction.At any rate, thanks for a bal-

anced, well researched and wellwritten piece, and please conveymy gratitude and congratulationsto Ryan.

tions throughout the country. Volunteersare the backbone of any Main Street organ-ization and the tremendous work of ourvolunteers—their extreme dedication andhard work—is the driving force in makingour downtown the great place that it is.April is National Volunteer RecognitionMonth and we take that occasion each yearto stop and recognize the achievements ofour Main Street Vineland volunteers at abrunch, honoring those who deserve spe-cial recognition. We have had the help andsupport of some great sponsors over thelast few years. Capital Bank sponsored ourvolunteer activities for three years and, thisyear, we welcome South Jersey Industries,parent company of South Jersey Gas, as theprimary sponsor of our volunteer recruit-

ment, retention, and recogni-tion activities.At the brunch, which tookplace this past Saturday atBain’s Deli, Jason Scythesreceived the South JerseyIndustries/Main StreetVineland Volunteer of the YearAward in recognition of hisdedication and selfless servicetoward the revitalization ofLandis Avenue.

In Loving MemoryFor our father, Lt. Charles K. AdamsJanuary 1, 1940 - May 8, 2009

When I come to the end of my journeyAnd I travel my last weary mile,Just forget if you can, that I everfrowned,And remember only the smile.Forget unkind words I have spoken;Remember some good I have done.Forget that I ever had heartache,And remember I've had loads of fun.Forget that I've stumbled andblundered,And sometimes fell by the way.Remember I have fought some hardbattles,And won, ere the close of the day.And come in the shade of evening,When the sun paints the sky in thewest;Stand for a few moments beside me,And remember only my best.

Loved and missed by your children,David, Donna, Darlene, Danine andDayna

Bridgeton Raises Sewer RatesWhile Bridgeton officials were hoping

to hold the line on sewer use fees, theyhad to find a way to absorb the latestincrease in the consumption charge hand-ed down by the Cumberland CountyUtilities Authority (CCUA), which movedrates from $1.69 to $4.85 per 1,000 gallonsused.

The solution arrived at by City officialsincludes a $5 reduction (to $110) in theminimum charged for 15,000 gallons andan increase for anything over the 15,000gallon mark, moving that overage numberfrom $2.31 per 1,000 gallons to $5.00 per1,000 gallon on anything over the 15,000gallon mark.

“This was a tough decision and therewas a lot of debate about how to proceed.Unfortunately, the CCUA increased itscharge to Bridgeton to $4.85 per 1,000 gal-lons and we needed to find a way toabsorb that $3.16 increase,” said BridgetonMayor Albert Kelly. We are mindful of thefact that environmental standards on whatcan be discharged to the river have gottena lot tighter and the costs to comply withState and Federal standards haveincreased dramatically, so these costs getpassed down to us.”

While issues of minimum gallons usedand overage charges have certain implica-tions for residential users, City officialsare concerned about what the CCUAincrease will mean for commercial andbusiness users, noting that this latestincrease amounts to a 186 percent jump.

An additional group, beyond singlefamily homeowners and commercial usersto be impacted by use fee increases arerenters and landlords. While City officialsacknowledge that some landlords haveexpressed concern about passing alongincreased use fees to tenants, they pointout that rental units typically stay withinthe minimum 15,000-gallon mark andoften use less water than owner-occupiedunits.

“Most tenants and individual rentalunits do not have excess use problems inmost quarters. In terms of the numberswe routinely see, rental units don’t have aproblem unless there is a leak or issues

with the number of people in a unit. Using15,000 gallons as the mark, it’s often abouteducating tenants on how to conserve,”said Bridgeton Water & SewerSuperintendent Mark Lavenberg.

An additional consideration is upgrad-ing lines throughout the entire system andmaintaining treatment facilities requiredof all municipal systems. With many lineshaving reached the end of their useful life,City officials are systematically replacingold lines with new more efficient lines.

City officials are emphasizing conser-vation on the water side of the system as away to reduce costs on the sewer side.With water and sewer functions tiedtogether, sewer costs are directly relatedto the amount of water a resident or busi-ness uses in a given quarter. A user canreduce costs by using low-output fixtureson lawn and garden irrigation and elimi-nating any leaks in plumbing, all of whichwill help keep costs down.

“Like anything else, these servicescome with a price. With increasing stan-dards for water quality and waste treat-ment, with finite resources, we have to besensitive about what it costs to provide aset of services we mostly take for grantedeach day” said Kelly.

that even Zeppelin had never played live.Some of the founding members were

put off by that idea, and moved on to otherthings. As they left, musicians who sharedSinclair’s ambitious vision for the bandreplaced them, and slowly, over time,GTLO became the six-piece that it is today.

And just what is that, exactly? A fullyfunctional Led Zeppelin tribute band that

plays the songs soulfully and accurately,just as they were recorded. Their reputa-tion has grown and they’ve taken the east-ern seaboard by storm because of it.They’ve even begun creating waves in thewestern part of the country, playing as farwest as Colorado and as far east as Maine,while selling out numerous notable venueseverywhere in between.

For a band that has been as successful asGTLO has over the last decade, it is curiousthat they haven’t made it out to theWestCoast yet. According to bassist Billy Childs,

however, this type of steady growth is idealfor the group’s members.

“We’ve kind of grown exactly how wewant to,” he said during a recent interview.“It’s been a slow burn, where we’ve beenable to play enough shows to be out therewithout having to sacrifice much in termsof things like venue size and the length ofour performances.”

Perhaps what is most impressive aboutthe band’s performance is the lack of sam-pling in their show, which is about twohours and 45 minutes long, and encom-passes 80 percent of Zeppelin’s catalogue.

Everything the audiencehears is played live. Torecreate the studio soundof a band as dynamic asLed Zeppelin, who wrotesome very layered songswith large accompani-ments, this means havingto rely on musicians off-stage as well.

“We have the six of us,and then our two (sound)techs play on some songs,

too,” said Childs. “Every once in a while atech will be playing a banjo or a mandolin oran acoustic guitar. At certain times, there’sas many as seven or eight of us playing.”

All of this is done in an attempt to bothmeet and surpass the enormous expecta-tions that come with playing Led Zeppelinsongs to the most passionate of Zeppelinfans. By all accounts, GTLOmore thandelivers.

“When I first started, I didn’t really feelpressure outside of having to play thesongs,” said Childs. “But after doing it for awhile, and seeing the reactions of people atthe shows, I feel a big responsibilitytowards the fans. I see howmuch they’reinto this and howmuch it means to them.Sometimes people come up to us after ashow with tears in their eyes. It’s reallyspecial. The emphasis on pleasing the fansis paramount to this band.”

That focus has allowed GTLO to eschewthe self-serving mentality that many bandsnaturally find themselves adopting overtime, instead creating an experience that is100 percent about the listener.

“A lot of times, as a band, when you’redoing covers, you start taking your own lib-erties. It’s something that just naturallyoccurs,” said Childs. “But with this, it’sreally only geared towards one thing. Itmay sound odd, but we don’t really wantartistic expression. What we want to do iscompletely replicate these songs for thepeople who come to see us. That philoso-phy drives this band.”

Tickets for the May 22 performance of GetThe Led Out at The Levoy Theater start at$24 and can be purchased by visitingLevoy.net or in person at the box office.

In Our SchoolsIVHS Pitch Perfect Piano Project Hits 20-Key Note

The Vineland HighSchool Choral Programhas sold 20 keys for its"Pitch Perfect PianoProject" to raise the$11,000 needed to replacethe Baldwin piano in usesince the high schoolopened 50 years ago, saidLori Cummines, the cur-rent choral director.The aging piano has

been in constant usesince then for classroominstruction, choral and

instrumental programs and to prepare students in the Cap 'N' Dagger Club forstage productions. But it's starting to show its age, and because of a crackedsound board, does not hold pitch. After much research, Cummines found whatshe believes will be the "pitch perfect" replacement, a U.S. made Campbell.The two latest donations for the new piano were presented by Dr. Thomas

McCann, current principal of the VHS South building, and Dr. Gerald Luongo,former principal. Dr. Luongo is also one of the five choral directors to use theBaldwin at VHS. The former principal was one of the guest speakers at Monday'sribbon cutting ceremony to re-dedicate the building."We still need to sell 68 more keys," said Cummines. "Purchase your key for

$125 and be a part of continued excellence in the VHS choral program."All donations are welcome, said Cummines.

Idle InventionThe origin of magnetic recording can be traced toBridgeton entrepreneur/tinkerer Oberlin Smith.

Formuch of the 20th century,tape was the standard mediumfor professional audio recording.The sounds of everything from

be-bop to the Beatles to Broadway musicalswere captured by a magnetic recordingprocess that is usually credited to theinventor Valdemar Poulsen. But documen-tation reveals that the origin of magneticrecording can actually be traced toBridgeton and the experiments conductedby local entrepreneur Oberlin Smith.

According to the website dedicated tothe businessman/inventor, Smith wasborn on March 22, 1840, in Cincinnati,Ohio. His parents had arrived in theUnited States from England and his fatherwas involved in the pre-Civil War anti-slavery movement, operating one of thelinks along the “underground railroad.” IfSmith’s first name sounds familiar, it’sprobably because of Oberlin College, theOhio institution named after a friend ofthe elder Smith and most likely the sourceof the younger’s moniker.

The future of this Bridgeton business-man was foretold in his early years inOhio. As his website explains, “YoungOberlin displayed an early mechanicalaptitude, and built a working steamengine at the age of fifteen, most likelywhile learning metalworking at one of thecity's riverboat engine yards, while beingeducated in the public and technicalschools of Cleveland.”

Upon his father’s death, Smith and hisfamily relocated to Stow Creek, NewJersey, where they resided on a large farmowned by the future inventor’s aunt anduncle. It was here that Smith worked onlocal farms, learned the trade of carpentryand soon attended the West JerseyAcademy in Bridgeton before taking engi-neering classes at Polytechnic College inPhiladelphia.

Smith began his career by working atone of Bridgeton’s premiere establish-ments, the Cumberland Nail and IronWorks. During this time, he patented adevice for cutting pipe, receiving a $50bonus for his efforts. But within five years,he pursued his own Bridgeton businessventure by opening a machine works andrepair shop at 21 North Laurel Street in1863. This was an early incarnation ofwhat became his establishment, theFerracute Machine Company. He was

joined by a cousin, J. Burkett Webb, whowould remain his partner until 1873.

While his company became known forthe manufacture of such items aswrought-iron fences and railing, improvinghis factory’s equipment seems to havebeen the most inspiring part of the businessfor Smith. As his website reveals, “Smithdetermined that he could design a betterfoot-operated press for shaping can topand bottoms than those he was calledupon to fix.” His inventions sold slowly atfirst, but gradually earned more sales by1872. After Webb’s departure, Smithbrought in his brother Frederick as partnerand “committed his facilities to the manu-facture of foot-driven presses for canningenterprises, and began advertising inindustrial periodicals.” By 1876, a belt-powered version of his press was sellingdomestically and internationally.

At the same time, Smith met CharlotteE. Hill, a schoolteacher at Bridgeton’s IvyHall School for Girls, and they weremarriedon Christmas Day in 1876. Two years later,Winifred was born, followed in 1880 bythe birth of Percival.

In a South Jersey Magazine article,“Bridgeton, the Birthplace of MagneticRecording,” James W. Gandy writes that“the Philadelphia Centennial of 1876appears to have marked a turning point inthe history of Smith and the FerracuteMachine Company. The years immediatelyfollowing the exhibition of his metalpresses there resulted in a greatlyincreased demand for these machines, andgradually drew all his time and attentionaway from his other creative interests.”

But Smith’s preoccupation with busi-ness concerns was diverted when a visitwith Thomas Edison in early 1878 cap-tured the imagination of the Bridgetoninventor. The encounter occurred onlyseveral months after Edison had patentedhis invention of the phonograph, the firstdevice that recorded and played backsound. Smith was intrigued by the newsystem and returned home to Bridgetonwith new ideas.

As Gandy points out, “while the rest ofthe scientific world was still regarding theEdison achievement with awe, Smith’s crit-ical mind was drawn more to the defects ofthe phonograph than to its abilities.” I

VHS Students in Delaware Valley Science FairEight Vineland High School students participated in the Delaware Valley

Science Fair on April 3 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA.All eight students had previously placed in the 25th annual Cumberland

County Science Research competition held March 13 at Cumberland CountyCollege, according to Marie Donato, a teacher at VHS North.

At the Delaware Valley event, more than 500 professional scientists and mili-tary personnel reviewed the projects of students from Delaware, New Jersey andEastern Pennsylvania.

According to information on its website, Delaware Valley Science Fairs, Inc.(DVSF) was founded in 1949 and is one of the longest running fairs in the country.It is now also one of the largest. The Fairs were designed as a vehicle for stimu-lating interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)among students in middle and high schools in the tri-state area. The philosophybehind the Fairs is that students learn science by doing science. DVSF provides anopportunity for students to excel and reach their full potential fostering intellec-tual curiosity and creative problem solving - essential skills for future innovation.

Teachers at Durand ElementarySchool working as volunteers at theHabitat for Humanity site on DelseaDrive not far from the school were sur-prised to learn they would be honoredfor their efforts at the organization'sgala on May 16 at the Greenview Inn.Robert Scarpa, Cumberland CountyHabitat for Humanity executive director,visited the school to make theannouncement to a stunned but obvi-ously pleased group of educators andDan Greco, their principal. Also onhand was Dr. Mary Gruccio,Superintendent of Schools.

The award is the first ever "groupeffort" honor for the local Habitat forHumanity organization, said Scarpa.

"The award is in recognition for thework the teachers have been doing—faithfully—for us at the Delsea Drivelocation," said Scarpa.

Leading the group effort has beenTara Giblin, a third grade teacher atDurand. Others in the group are ReneeBraxton, the school's assistant principal,Mandy Ciaurelli, Janeane Camardo,Elyse DeJong, and Rita Myers.

Giblin said her daughter saw the

Habitat sign in front of the property andcalled it to her attention.

The project, on the corner of DelseaDrive and Regina Elena Avenue, is athree-bedroom, single family house thatwill be occupied by a "deserving family,who has been working alongside theDurand School volunteers," said Greco.

Scarpa said the family was selectedfrom 65 applicants and has already putin many of the 500 man hours requiredby the organization.

Battle of Gettysburg isAlive Again at Ellison

This focus of this year's annualUpper School Academic Excurstion isGettysburg and the Civil War. UpperSchool teachers and students began thefirst of the two-day excursion with anoverview of the Civil War, a study of theGettysburg Address, a sampling of rele-vant film clips, and a tour of the battle-field via Google Earth. Students thenparticipated in 2 courses, each an hour-long. The course topics included: CivilWar Ghost Stories, Civil War Medicine,and Civil War letters/journals or poetry.

The afternoon found them outside,experiencing what life was like for sol-diers on the battlefield. Students re-enacted parts of the battle, marched information, performed maneuvers andfired their “weapons,” which were madeout of PVC piping. For ammunition, theyused marshmallows (which were aboutas accurate as the muscats were in CivilWar day, reinforcing the point).

On day two, the group traveled toGettysburg where they returned to thescene of this historic battle. Throughoutthe following week, students finalizedthe work they started in their coursesand completed a written reflection ofthe overall experience. Studentsreceived a grade for their participationin the Gettysburg activities. Gradeswere based on general behavior (includ-ing positive attitude, responsibility, andwillingness to participate) and on “prod-uct” (completed coursework and finalwritten reflection).

Ellison students fire their makeshift CivilWar-era “guns” from behind a bunker atthe recent reenactment of the Battle ofGettysburg.

Fresh Air for Brain Health

Gardening has long been known as agreat way to get outdoors and enjoy freshair and sunshine. And gardening has hid-den benefits that can boost your overallhealth, including better brain health.

You don’t need a big plot of land toenjoy gardening. Use containers on a porchor patio to grow a wide variety of fruits orvegetables. A five-gallon bucket with holesfor drainage can be used to grow a greatcrop of tomatoes. Even if you aren’t activelyinvolved in gardening, just walking in a gar-den can give you a sensory experience thatpromotes relaxation and reduces stress.Here are several ways gardening boosts

your health and well-being.Low-Impact Exercise—Gardeners love

to get outdoors and work with their hands.Because of that, gardening keeps you exer-cising even when a gymmay not work foryou. Gardening is certainly not the same aspumping iron or running a marathon. Butwhen you are digging, planting, and doingother tasks, you have opportunities for low-impact exercise. Gardeners who do morephysical work like hauling wheelbarrows ofrocks or dirt get quite a workout. No matterwhat level of exercise you do, gardeningwill help keep you limber.Stress Reduction—When you walk

among beautiful flowers and watch vegeta-bles spring up, it’s easy to see why garden-

ing enriches the mind. But have youthought about gardening as a tonic forreducing stress? If not, you should. A recentstudy in the Netherlands suggests that gar-dening can fight stress even better thanother relaxing leisure activities. Participantsin the study either read indoors or gardenedfor 30 minutes. Afterward, the group thatgardened reported being in a better moodthan the reading group, and they also hadlower levels of the stress hormone cortisol.Most of us push ourselves to the max, butgardening really does make you slow downand literally smell the roses.Tracking Your Accomplishments—

Gardeners love to keep records. It would bedifficult to remember from year to yearwhat plants did well and those that didn’tthrive in specific locations, under whatconditions, and especially if you have alarge vegetable, fruit and flower garden.That’s why gardeners love to keep photosof what they planted, before and aftershots, and notes about their garden’sprogress. Since it would be difficult toremember every detail of last year’s gardenwhen you get ready to plant again this year,a photo journal along with written recordscan make you a more effective and efficientgardener. Those journals are handy reviewsof what to plant again and what to forego.Notes written by hand or typed on yourcomputer will also give you another bene-

fit. When you keep track of your gardeningaccomplishments, you’re apt to betterremember the details. And what’s more,you’ll be boosting your brain health bysharpening your memory and recall skills.Mood Booster—Gardening has proven

to be a good way to change your mood forthe better. A Norwegian study followedparticipants with mood disorders whospent six hours a week growing flowers andvegetables. After three months, half of theparticipants had experienced a measurableimprovement in their depression symp-toms. Even after they stopped gardening,their good moods continued three monthsafter the gardening experiment was over.Eat Fresh—Growing your own food has

the obvious benefit of being able to enjoyfresh fruits and vegetables. Several studieshave shown that people who garden eatmore fresh fruits and vegetables than peo-

ple who don’t have home gardens. Growingyour own garden also gives you the conven-ience of trying new things. You may notbuy arugula at the grocery store but nowthat you’re having success with it at home,it stretches your thinking—what else couldyou plant that you’ve never thought aboutbefore?Make Room for Executive Function—

Gardening, like many activities, can begood for you once you get going, but some-times we all need extra motivation toaccomplish our goals. Don’t blame yourwillpower for not getting outside and gar-dening. Instead, research has found that ifyou have poor executive decision, you maynot stick to goals compared to people withexcellent executive functions. Executivefunction includes such things as planningand being able to thoroughly consideroptions in front of you, it also includes hav-ing a prospective memory. That is definedas having a sharp recall ability to rememberto do things or say ‘no’ to other things likebecoming sedentary instead of getting exer-cise. The message is clear. When you takecare of your brain health you will have bet-ter willpower. Cognitive performance,memory and willpower go hand-in-hand.The great outdoors is yours to enjoy andwith the added support of great nutritionand executive function, you’re on your wayto better brain health.

News&Views

Vineland's green energy future wasoutlined by Joseph Isabella, direc-tor of Vineland Municipal Electric

Utility on Thursday, April 18, at a Chamberof Commerce luncheon at Ramada Inn ofVineland. “Local business is an importantpart of the community,” he said. The job ofthe VMEU, he added, is to provide reliable,low-cost energy “to keep you competitive.”

The mission of the century-old VMEU,in fact, is to continue to provide reliableservice to customers at the lowest possiblecost while being an environmental stew-ard for the community. That includescompliance with all applicable federal andstate environmental requirements, butalso to be an environmental leader.

New generation has included state-of-the-art jet turbine generators that are 50percent more efficient than the old steamturbine generators, saving 50 percent car-bon dioxide emissions. Also, a conversionto nautural gas, which burns much clean-er than coal and oil, with particulates,nitrous oxides and other emissions drasti-cally reduced is something Isabella “onlydreamed of a few years ago.”

Conversion to natural gas also meansforeign-supplied oil and coal is beingreplaced by domestic natural gas.

“That money stays in the U.S. instead ofsupporting terrorism,” Isabella noted.

The VMEU renewable energy mixincludes solar and hydro power, whichtogether produce more than 10 percent ofall energy used by customers. This elimi-nates burning 7.3 million gallons of oil andsaves 82,000 tons of carbon dioxide emis-sions annually, thereby offsetting the car-bon emissions of 10,000 cars, according toIsabella.

The result has been accolades for theVMEU Solar program, ranked first in the

nation in 2011 and in the top 10 nationallyin 2012 by the Solar Electric PowerAssociation (SEPA). Vineland currentlysupplies 6.5 percent of its electricity withsolar power, far surpassing a goal of 4.2percent by 2028 set by Christie’s-enactedlegislation that set state energy supplystandards.

“Going green is not a Democratic orRepublican issue,” Isabella said. “It affectsall of us. Green is good for business.”

The luncheon was sponsored byComcast and Inspira Healthcare Network.

Vineland Electric Receives National Recognition for SolarVineland Municipal Electric Utility (VMEU) and the Solar Electric Power

Association (SEPA) have announced that VMEU has been recognized as a nationalleader in the integration and delivery of solar-based renewable solutions. VMEU hasbeen ranked on SEPA's annual Top 10 list which ranks American electric utilitiesthat have added the most new solar power to their systems on a Megawatt basis ORa Watts-Per-Customer basis in 2012. This annual ranking, which identifies the com-panies that are integrating solar into the nation’s power grid, is part of the sixthannual Utility Solar Rankings report. The full report, including cumulative rankings,will be released in May, 2013.

In 2011, VMEU ranked #1 in the Watts-Per-Customer basis and has clearly madea commitment to providing clean renewable energy to its customers. “We are hon-ored and pleased to be recognized again this year by SEPA,” said Joseph A. Isabella,Director of VMU. “As we look to the future, Vineland will continue its commitmentto be an environmental leader.”

Vineland’s solar and hydro renewable portfolio represents over 77 Million KWhper year which is over 10% of all the energy used by Vineland’s customers each year.This eliminates the combustion of roughly 7.3 Million gallons of oil each year, saving82,000 tons of CO2 Emissions annually. VMEU’s portfolio offsets CO2 emissions of10,000 cars, which equals CO2 absorption capability of 407,000 trees.

“From humble beginnings, the VMEU has grown to become one of the city’s mostvaluable assets and an engine for future economic development,” said Mayor RubenBermudez. “The excellent rates and quality service the VMEU provides, combinedwith their commitment to promoting energy efficiency and sustainable living prac-tices, are a huge benefit for the community, anda key selling point in retaining and attractingnew businesses and jobs to Vineland.”

The Vineland Municipal Electric Utility cur-rently provides service to 21,769 residential and3,325 commercial and industrial customers.

“We are pleased to welcome VMEU to ourTop 10 list, which identifies the leaders fromour upcoming sixth annual Utility SolarRankings Report,” remarked Julia Hamm, presi-dent and CEO of SEPA. “In 2012, new installa-tions resulted in almost 1,500 megawatts ofadditional new solar connected to the grid, adoubling in new solar capacity from two yearsago. Both the number of systems and theamount of new capacity make solar electricitythe fastest growing electric source in the U.S. in2012. SEPA will continue to promote our utilityleaders and encourage wide spread solar adop-tion to ensure a clean, diverse energy mix for the future.”

Founded in 1899 when local surrounding utilities could not provide electric serv-ice for street lighting to the city’s main thoroughfare, Vineland Municipal Electricutility (VMEU) has grown to become the largest municipal electric utility in NewJersey. VMEU is also unique in that it is the only municipal electric utility in thestate that owns and operates utility scale generation. VMEU provides retail electricservice to all of the residents and businesses in Vineland.

SEPA is an educational non-profit organization based in Washington dedicated tohelping utilities integrate solar power into their energy portfolios. The SEPA Top 10Utility Solar Rankings report is one of many market intelligence, utility interactionand educational services SEPA provides to its utility and solar industry members.For more information about SEPA, visit our website at www.solarelectricpower.org
